It's the same as the article title. Horrible nonetheless.

Mull and Vivaldi.

Ah, thanks for finding the facts. So the first election had a surprise result. It worked exactly as designed, and either people didn't understand that could happen or they've since been convinced it was contrary to what they wanted.

Given the whole goal of RCV is that outcomes are satisfying to the largest number of people you'd think this result wouldn't have had a backlash like what we've seen.

I'd bet the losing party was behind the measure, and I'm somewhat happy to see it fail. I hope that means the majority of people were in fact satisfied.

Some jurisdictions using FPTP may do a runoff if there's no winner with a 50% mandate, but most do not. Split votes such as 45/40/15 with 45% declared the winner can and do happen.

If I remember correctly one of the first major elections using RCV resulted in the person who overall got the most first choice picks losing the person who overall get the most second and third choice pics. So it worked as designed in that the winner was the person with over 50% of the vote, but it really upset all the people who had supported the person who would have won under the previous first past the post system.

40 hours for me. Work related waste of my life in hindsight. Could have been only 39, but I powered through the last hour to hit the round number.

Community rule is 30 days.

@MajorHavoc has it covered. It's the flush valve that varies most. Most common is the flapper design, but some brands use plastic towers.

Fill valves are almost universally interchangable. Your variables there will be age and interference. You'd have to go back to basically antiques before things become incompatible. As for interference, units with the big float on the end of a rod may not fit in a tank that uses a tall flush valve. They make more compact styles for those situations.

All that bring said... What are you trying to fix? The flush and fill valves are by far the most common maintenance items, but if neither of those things are the issue then you're going to run into proprietary parts fast.

I can take it or leave it. I rarely turn it on, and only if its draining slowly. I do not use it purposely for food waste, and honestly don't know why anyone would.

I've had to clean out some nasty clogged pipes before that handled sink waste. Maybe if everyone saw what kind of lovely buildup accumulates nobody would use these things.

Edit: nothing like "someone is wrong on the Internet" brings all the boys to the yard. I'll stand by my statement because I'm the one who personally snaked over 5 gallons of congealed sludge from the waste pipe in my tiny crawlspace. I didn't live there long enough and use the disposal enough to explain it, and it wouldn't have happened if there was no disposal to add that much solid matter over the years. So I personally don't care if I have one or not since I do the maintenance for free, but I'll continue to question why they're even a thing.

If all candidates are on the same timeline then I agree. That's not the case here. 100 days vs literal years of planning.

Mull is updated as well.
